Why You Should Apply To The HERstory Made Angel Fund

 This is NOT a Shark Tank type fund! We are NOT here to do "Mr. Wonderful" type deals. We are actually here to help  women grow their business. While we don't have set terms, it will be easily negotiated with each selected company for mutual benefit. 


We are not Sharks, we are simply Wonder Women. Aside from our initial  investment, we want to see you succeed. Our company was built into an international company that has helped many companies scale into new markets. So with that experience, we can serve in an advisory capacity depending on your needs.

In the application process,  you will be asked a series of questions about your business. Your  answers will be presented to our screening committee, so be sure they are as accurate and as concise as possible in illustrating the long term vision and how the company will grow. Be ready to complete the application in one session.

From  application to funding, our investment process takes 4 to 5 weeks on average (possibly faster depending on how fast the applicants responds).

The final step is a legal and  accounting diligence necessary to document the investment.
